Hi Chris if your going to try programming in basic and havent used it before its wise to get yourself a oric basic manual they are cheap on ebay ,there are a few on ebay uk now im sure they would post they contain the basics and all the keywords and codes your looking for otherwise its an uphill battle

I downloaded the manual. I just thought since my only other BASIC programming was on a TI 84+, that I thought each key had a number attached to it (like down = some number). For example, if I were to press down, and down's number was 30, I would print something like UNTIL KEY$=30 .
